Participation in
Activities
develops us into well-rounded people. We
engage with others to develop outside interests and expose us to new and
differing points of view. By
contributing in the larger world, we demonstrate that Chi Omega makes a
difference in the lives of women.

Campus Activities Chair works with other Greek and non-Greek organizations to coordinate events going on on and around the UD Campus and community. Major responsibilities include planning Greek Week and Homecoming with the Social Chair. Also acts as a liaison between the chapter and other fraternities and sororities during their philanthropic events.

Our chapter values the idea of being supportive, active members of our
campus community, and the campus activities team works to ensure that
we are upholding these ideals. We do so by organizing the chapter's
participation in fun events such as Greek Week, Homecoming, Paddy
Murphy, Derby Days, and Fiji Islander. At each event, we encourage the Chapter's
display of sportsmanship, support of other groups, and the cultivation
of bonds between groups.

Friendship
is what binds us to each other and to our Fraternity. The friendships we develop in Chi Omega give
us a home across geography and generations and give us lasting support
throughout our lives.

Membership in Chi Omega is for a lifetime.
Our network of Sisters and the spirit of Chi Omega are a home wherever you are.
We invite you to connect!

If you are interested in joining our Chi Omega family, please contact us at UDchiomega@gmail.com!We have recruitment expos and an open house during Fall Semester (look under the Recruitment section) and Recruitment at the beginning of Spring Semester.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation is Chi Omega Fraternity's National Philanthropy. Since the start of our alliance, Chi Omegas have made a difference in many children's lives through volunteering time, talents, and dollars. The Make-A-Wish Foundation has honored Chi Omega for the incredible volunteer efforts of our members.

Rho Lambda has been working with Make-A-Wish for six years. Every fall we hold our largest annual fundraiser, Mr. Fraternity! This past year we set the bar high by hoping to beat the previous year's donations of $11000. We were very sucesful and raised over $13,000! In the Spring we gather at our Eluesinian Brunch to celebrate our wish child and to grant them their wish.

It all began on April 5, 1895, at the University of Arkansas when four young women, with the help of a local dentist, established the secrets and symbolism that today bind over 260,000 women. This small band of women founded Chi Omega after realizing a need for an organization that would foster both friendship and respect for the potential and inherent value of women. Over the years, Chi Omega has provided its members with unique opportunities in leadership, scholarship, and lifelong friendship - striving to provide each Sister with a commitment to personal integrity, excellence in academic and intellectual pursuits, intergenerational participation, community service, leadership opportunities and social enrichment.

Career and PersonalDevelopment prepares us for
life’s work and makes us marketable regardless of the path we choose. Sisters serve as mentors and coaches along
the way. Chi Omega promotes personal
growth and teaches us to work earnestly at whatever we choose to do.

Chi Omega at the University of Delaware establishes a working relationship with the Career center on campus
in order to report about what it has to offer on a monthly basis, for example sample resumes, speakers for different topics, mock interviews, and job information. The sisters are also informed of many great internship opportunities on a regular basis. We also have a resource file for out sisters which has graduate school info, test prep materials, sample resumes, and articles. As our Career and Personal Development chair, I offer quick tips about looking for jobs and personal development at our chapter meetings!

Sincere Learning and
Creditable Scholarship means that we care about our intellectual
development. We embrace the spirit and
excitement of learning throughout our lives and encourage others to better
themselves.Chi Omega provides her sisters with an enriched academic and social
experience. Our sisterhood prides itself on our scholastic
achievements, participation in campus activities, and involvement with
community service. More than half of our sisters are currently on the
Dean's List and many are involved in extracurricular activities,
athletics teams and University Honor Societies.

The University of Delaware utilizes the Chapter Assessment Program
(CAP) which ranks each of the Greek organizations based on a variety of
factors, one of which is academic performance. Chi Omega is proudly
recognized as a GOLD STATUS organization. Last semester, we came in second place!

Community Service means that we want to make a difference on our campuses and in our
communities. We know that giving back to
others unselfishly makes the world a better place and makes us better
people. Serving and giving helps to
connect us.

Chi Omega at the University of Delaware gets involved in many community
service events. One event which we find very special and rewarding is
Churchman's Senior Prom. During this event we plan and hold a 'prom'
for the senior residents at the Churchman's Senior Center. One of the
resident's last year stated "We look forward to this night all year."

For the past year, our chapter's gotten involved with an organization that's extremely dear to our hearts. The Pajama Program helps underprivileged children around the world by giving them donated pajamas and books. Rho Lambda's already helped to donate and we're excited to see how much we can help out this year!

Check out the Pajama Program link (below) for more information.

Rho Lambda's main philanthropy is Make-A-Wish Foundation. It is so
amazing to be able to help such an extraordinary cause. For the last 3
years we have had the fundraiser known as Mr. Fraternity. Mr.
Fraternity is a Greek male talent show, and thanks to the support of our fellow Greeks, we have been more successful in our fundraiser each year! We have raised enough money all three years
to grant the wishes of three amazing local children. Last year we
raised 13,000 dollars to send our friend, Classi, and her family to
Disney World! It is such a great cause and Chi Omega loves to help
others, and we hope to be as successful this year! This year, Mr. Fraternity is on November 29th, so come out and support us!

Check out the Make-A-Wish link (below) for more information. Everyone get excited for Mr. Fraternity this Fall!

Chi Omega plans many events each semester to bring the chapter closer together and strengthen our sisterhood. We hold an annual Mother-Daughter Brunch and Senior Penny Drop to wish the seniors good luck after college. This fall we are looking forward to going apple picking and taking a trip to a nearby haunted house.

The Chi Omega Symphony has
reflected the purposes of Chi Omega members since its composition in 1904 by
Ethel Switzer Howard on the eve of her initiation into the Xi Chapter of Chi
Omega at Northwestern
University.

Our chapter is home to over 100 sisters who value and truly define Chi Omega's six Purposes. We pride ourself on High Standards of Personnel, Scholarship, and Career Development. We grow together through Community Service and participate in Campus Activities. Perhaps the most significant Purpose of all is Friendship. Membership in Chi Omega is for a lifetime! The memories and relationships we share and strengthen during our years together are the foundation of our strong sisterhood. We hope you enjoy getting to know the Rho Lambda chapter, the PROUD winners of Airband 2010 and the 12th year champs of Derby Days!
